Evil Twin

[Catherine]

I bought this game a while back and noticed it with my games today so I
decided to play it. I installed it fine and when it loaded it up I get to
the title screen and all it says is press start button. I tried pressing
every button on the keyboard and nothing worked, I couldn't get to anything
or get it to exit either, so I was looking through the readme and it under
the term or peripherals that would not properly function : keyboard control.
Does this mean that it doesn't find my keyboard. Or is there something up
with the game itself.

Hi Catherine,

Maybe they mean the Windows Logo Key on your keyboard.
If your keyboard doesn't have one, press CTRL+ESC instead.

Hi Catherine,

It would appear that you can't see a START button in the game itself.
Either it's hidden below your taskbar, or your current video drivers
cannot render that graphic. Try changing your display resolution both
higher and lower to see if you're able to see the Start button.

If the problem persists, please post back for more instructions.

Hi Catherine,

Are we making progress?
I think you were unable to see the START button before, correct?

May sound like a patronising reply (sorry), but mouse buttons do anything?

Also tried alt-tabbing your way through different windows? May be something
took focus of it.

[Catherine]

using alt tab and everything else i knew, it wouldnt even let me close the
game by pressing alt + F4 so i had to end up restarting, i just cant seem to
get anywhere with the game

 

[Catherine]

yeah was having some problem as the game kept crashing when i tried to load
it up, but after just turning off my comp and coming back to it in the
morning it has worked and i've been able to play the game now

thanks Jimmy and Paul for your help
